Celtic Manuscript Painting, 1887" from Ornamentenschatz by H. Dolmetsch

About the Item

"Celtic Manuscript Painting, 1887" from Ornamentenschatz by H. Dolmetsch Description: This print, created by Heinrich Dolmetsch, is part of the "Ornamentenschatz," a collection published by Verlag J. Hoffmann, Stuttgart, in 1887. It displays a variety of Celtic designs typically found in manuscript illuminations, showcasing intricate interlacing patterns, vibrant colors, and emblematic animal forms. Each panel is filled with detailed knotwork, spirals, and zoomorphic designs, all traditional elements of Celtic art. Attractiveness and Decorative Appeal: The beauty of these prints lies in their complex interwoven designs that are both symmetrical and balanced, reflecting the high value placed on harmony and unity in Celtic art. The use of vibrant colors and the portrayal of intertwined forms create a dynamic visual effect that captures the viewer’s attention and imagination. Gold-Plated Appearance Technique: The gold-plated appearance in these prints is likely achieved through the use of chromolithography, a method where each color is applied from a different stone or plate, one at a time. To mimic the look of gold leaf, which is commonly used in actual manuscript illumination, a specific shade of golden yellow ink is carefully applied to selected areas. This technique provides the rich, luminous effect seen in the details, making the artwork resemble more expensive and elaborate gold leafing.
